Hee... Of course i still remember you.

 

Tmax 500.

Tall and with black-rimmed specs

 

How's the going? U stay in the West?

So convenient to go to jb from West to pump petrol, makes more money sense.

[anodise57]

u sound funny... as thou i dont know what i buying. it a JDM of cos. no offence but i'm jus here to share my delight moment of purchase today in this thread. can understand that i'm not buying euro sound a little strange but its not really affecting me. cheers.

 

 

eh.... so paiseh..... my degree of expression is limited with my engrish....

 

anyway...... I also didnt know still got JDM. Cos FC diff. I think the fun part is the OD button (same as auto cars) sort of like sports mode where u HIGH REV => accelerating up + waste more fuel.. hahahha

 

Anyway Mine is JDM 600... from outside.. not much diff. from JDM & Euro 400

I got a fren (retopel) he got 2nd hand few months back. See that he quite happy about it. Anyway... hope u luv ya ride......

I am thinking of changing my rollers to euro 4 ones. Heavier... Think might help improve on the FC.......

Other than tat.... Like scobby mentioned.... Did some essential stuff up to aid the riding experience...... heheheh

Hello weizhong, good day. may i know how much did you pay for your FN5S?

Must be expensive wor.

Umm....well....i kinda like the SW very much also. Especially the BLACK series. Damn cool lor. The exhaust really stands out from others man..... But currently I have a Vespa GT to service on the loan. One day ya brother..... Can someone advise me on if I'll to buy one.... where's got the best deal????

And do you guys meet up frequently for makans & drinks? Where????

 

Cheers!!!!

Agree, also swee no. plate

Welcome Siambee & Greenday to the SW fraternity and wish you trouble free years of fun. Not to worry too much about the comments on the difs between the EURO & JDM as the basic engine and body parts quite the same. Try not to add on or modify the electrics, exhaust system and CVT and you shud get years of service out of the SW. Stick to the maintenance schedule and use the recommended plugs, filters and lubricants. I have had 3 SWs so far and my first 600 gave me 200K plus mileage without any major rebuilds or problems. Only when i start to play around with CVT and engine upgrades did the old girl get cranky. Before i sold it the mods, including suspension and other engine / CVT parts, cost as much as a new one (including the required replacement of all brake pads/wheel bearings etc). I got a good deal on it for export and immediatly got another SW400 - which unfortunately got burnt in a housefire in malaysia. I then got my 3rd SW400 in November last year (from Loois) and use back my lucky number plate from another Honda scooter.

[anodise57]

wa seh.. kris.. u hard core sia....

 

So whats ur view compare to 600 and 400.....

Torque diff only? since almost everything is same except for engine....

[greenday]

Agree, also swee no. plate

So I've heard.

So far this is the main negative comment on S Wing. But I tink I can tahan dis, worst come to worst go JB pump lor.

 

My current Italian is so the Posh, very the high maintainence until I cannot tahan her alr. . . ..

Thats why I changing to a hardy Japanese soon:cheeky:

Hope she wont give so much trouble as her Italian counterpart:sweat:

[anodise57]

italian... part ex.....

last time b4 i tried scoot.. hearsay is scoot maintainance damn high....

after rode scoot... then i know its cos of piaggio scoot affected the reviews about scoot...

with jap scoot or swinger for the matters.. its lower than my old S4....

[Kris Rider]

Thanks Kris Rider. Btw mine is the Euro version. Anyways you stay sembawang? I also stay north area. Maybe can go drink kopi at Al-Ameen and scooter tolk **** when I got my SW:P

 

I m mostly in Bukit Batok / Jurong Area when i m down in Sinchiapoh (my homeland by the way) but can commute anywhere to drink kopi or eat Roti Prata. But i prefer where parking is safe and free !!! My present is EURO SW400 and i opted for the 2006 version !!! Why ? Tell You when we meet !!!

[Sensible]

 

Hello weizhong, good day. may i know how much did you pay for your FN5S?

Must be expensive wor.

 

Cheers!!!!

 

FN5S is Siambee's one..

[Sensible]

Hmmmm, Any SW rider staying in the East?

[Kris Rider]

I hope you ALL believe me when i say that the Honda SW is the best workhorse / tourer combination you can find !! Never mind the FC !! The other factors like servicing / tyre / brake pads costs will outweigh all the other present popular / available bikes in this category!! I also own an Italian crotch rocket (Ducati Senna Replica Mk1) and a couple of BMWs (R100RS & RS1150) parked in Malaysia, which i seldom feel inclined to use here due to the speed / noise restrictions & cost of fuel / maintenance. But any day when i feel like cruising to outback roads i surely want to use the SW!!!

[anodise57]

ah... da man replies......

 

sounds convincing..... 2 weeks back wacked 140-160 to melaka with 2ups..

Still feel relatively stable. should be caused of the weight.

 

===> kris

So whats ur view compare to 600 and 400.....

Torque diff only? since almost everything is same except for engine....

well Kris u havent reply me ... thks

[siambee]

eh.... so paiseh..... my degree of expression is limited with my engrish....

 

it ok bro... i saw ur way of giving help to others, i know u are the steady 1 no issue at all.

 

my 1 will be FBC dunoe wat chapalang number will get. . . . (or is it FBD alr?)

 

pls dont say this... it the bikes that matters

 

 

FN5S is Siambee's one..

 

thanks u bro for clarification anyway i staying in east too ...

Bro 8866, mention previously this plate cost me $1500, plus transfer from harley fatboy another $400 plus total cost me slightly less than $2000... back 2003 all under installment no much issue...

[8866]

Hey siambee......That's cool.... good buy though....

 

I'm putting up in the North. Anyone?

[Kris Rider]

ah... da man replies......

Well Sorry Brother !! But to be absolutely candid i feel the 400 to be more Zippy and better handling on the twisty bits - maybe something to do with the lower weight and hence better weight distribution. The 600 drinks as much fuel as the 400 but when two up and with luggage it gives better cruising speed. To do a comparison on pickup i would put my money on the 400 - if both bikes were absolutely standard. But i did notice that the 600 ate tires faster, especially the rear and the brake pads and CVT belts had a shorter lifespan !!

 

Is that comparison enough ??
